    Responses to Inappropriate Behavior

  • Minor offenses

    Will be handled by the teacher in the classroom using the following guidelines.

  • Initial Offenses

    Initial offenses:

    -acquisition error- reteach appropriate behavior
    -fluency error- give reinforcement for using skill such as free choice time for 10 min at end of class period on the contingency that behavior was used
    -maintenance error- remind class of expected behavior and use token system for class to win cookies at end of the month
    -generalization error- give reminder of skill to be used at all times and give positive reinforcement and feedback for correct behavior

  • Setting Events

    Analyze behaviors for possible setting events at all times and create alternate routines to help to offset behavior

  • Repeat offenses

    Give one warning and remind student of consequences.
    -State expected behavior
    -State inappropriate behavior
    -Give specific consequence that will occor if behavior is continued

  • Offense is repeated- Consequences enforced

    Choices:
    -time out from reinforcement- remove students from peer group by placing in a seat away from other students
    -no free time at the end of the class period
    -come in after school to finish assignment

  • Continuance of inappropriate behavior

    -note home to parents
    -30 min detention before or after school
    -participation in community service project such as serving in a women's shelter for a major offense (with parental permission)
